A world map that shows the happiness level scores of countries from the year 2007 to 2021.
You can navigate to each country to see their values according to the year of your choice.
You can also zoom in or zoom out, the map to see countries of a certain region.
There are various factors contributing to this score which will be seen shortly.
The mean happiness level score was 5.0
Any country above or equal to the mean score were termed as happiest or progressing. On the other hand, any country whose mean score was less than 5 were termed as unhappy or struggling.
Scores calculated and used, were the mean scores of all the years for that country.
Denmark & Finland are the first and second highest mean happiness level scored countries, respectively, throughtout all the years.
Whereas, South Sudan & Afghanistan are the lowest and second lowest mean happiness level scored countries, respectively, throughout many years.
What are the factors contributing to this score and why do the country's score differ so much?
Let's find out!
It seems that, GDP per capita score, Healthy life expectancy & Social Support of a country, are the main factors contributing to the overall happiness level!
Surprisingly, GDP score and Healthy life expectancy are most closely related! Let's see how!
You can hover over each scatter plot to the see the country's name, its Region and its exact GDP per capita score!
It is observed that as the GDP per capita of a country increases, the healthy life expectancy of that country increases as well.
As seen in our first geo graph, most of the countries in The Sub-Saharan African region has a low GDP score and thus a low healthy life expectancy.
We can say that:
Thus most of the countries in the affected regions, such as Sub-Saharan Afria, South Asia & some countries in the Latin American Region must focus on the GDP score and how to improve health of its citizens.
This will in return increase the positive affectivity in its citizens, thus increasing social support and contributing to an overall higher happiness level.
While on the other hand, it is observed, countries having a progressive increase in its GDP score, such a Singapore in the Southeast Asian region have an increasing healthy life expectany throughout multiple years.
These also include most of the countries present in the Western European Region.
